About

The Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo is a 13th-century Gothic style, brick and stone, urban palace located on via del Capitano, #13-19 in the city of Siena, region of Tuscany, Italy. The name derives because it was once home of the Capitano della Guerra or Capitano del Popolo, who served as the main official for the Republic. The Palazzo is just off the Piazza of the Duomo.
